Once again a week has drawn to a close with the next one looming before us. This past week was one of varied activities which included work, friends, art (of course), family, archives, music. It looked like this… The yard needs some attention as we move into fall, but this was mainly for something pretty […]

Art Laundry, Day 3
Carolyn Schneider and I have just completed the third day of “Art Laundry II”, part of Salem Art Association’s Project Space, 2015. Our proposal was to work in the space daily and build an installation where we examined the threads between “women’s domestic work” and art work. How they might be similar, how they might […]
“Farm Stories”
I once read that the images that are imprinted on an artist’s brain in the first five years are the images that play out through all of their creative lives. I don’t know if this is true, but I can imagine that it is, after finding a book that was my favorite as a young […]
Road Trip
A busy week here getting ready to head out…some ukulele playing in Monterey, a stop in Sonoma to look at quilts, departure is imminent. I’ll just leave you with a few little Louis Bunce gouaches we ran across. More news from the road…. rescue quilt almost done… Bye bye…
The Snail Blog/”Couples”
I haven’t written about the Snail Blog lately…my friend Ellen’s counter-move in response to this blog. She sends me a post card almost everyday with the small (and sometimes overwhelming) details of her life in Vermont. She has become a postcard collector, and sends the cards in series…one recent series, for instance, was “Bridges”. But […]
Be My Valentine?
Love from near, love from far, a sunny day…all good! XXOO
Drawing Day

If you love to draw that’s so easy…drawing books and pens fit nicely into a purse…insurance against any “slow” moment…all good. …and SOME days are really happy days because drawing and coffee join […]
The Wave Crest
Last weekend we stayed at the wonderful Wave Crest in Cannon Beach, being lovers of the authentic Oregon experience, and it was fun. When owner (Daryl)Hank Johnson was a Portlander (curator at the Washington Park Rose Garden) he often stayed at the Wave Crest, and then just up and bought it from his retiring friends […]
The “Huge Fake Animal” series
I think it’s been a while since I reported in on the “Snail Blog”…the daily postcards sent by my friend Ellen in Vermont…the new series of collected cards is the “Huge Fake Animal” series which is a total crack-up…
Random
Well I’ve been a little sick (something I ate I guess….) and my activities have been curtailed. My brain has been barely functional with only a few rational thoughts…(Mary Lou Zeek’s “Pulse” show coming up May 9-16…Sidney…laundry)… ABSOLUTELY NO organized thoughts about blogs or reading or singing or EVEN playing the ukulele. So here, though, […]
